Total liabilities have been reduced by approximately $3,132,000
Richard Kamolvathin, President and CEO of Verity Corp, said, "We had three corporate goals to reach in the immediate term. Our management team identified that we needed to dramatically improve our balance sheet, introduce more proprietary products and build a foundation to scale our business. We have met all three goals. Long term debt has been reduced significantly. Our new proprietary products are generating new business. And our ability to ramp up revenues has been improved."
Kamolvathin noted, "We are particularly pleased to see that our shift to more proprietary products has resulted in a significant increase in gross profit margins."
"Verity has the technology and expertise to provide farmers with a comprehensive program to move to non-GMO food production. The market opportunity is there and we are well positioned to capitalize on consumers' and farmers' interest in healthy food," Kalmolvathin concluded.
